EXCLUSIVE: Entertainment veterans Elisabeth Rohm and Kara have partnered to launch Rohm Feifer Entertainment, a film and television production company that will look to tell inspirational, female-forward stories steeped in true crime and true narratives that resonate with audiences of all kinds.
Already, the company with offices in L.A. and New York has made a deal with Village Roadshow Television to develop the series I Will Be Good, inspired by Bryan Smith’s article for Chicago magazine. Written by Karen Croner, it will tell the story of a $53 million bamboozle: how Rita Crundwell, the trusted comptroller of the small Illinois town of Dixon, pulled off the biggest municipal embezzlement in U.S. history to date without anyone noticing.
Rohm and Feifer are also taking an IP-based procedural out to market this year, led by Ed Bernero (Criminal Minds), based on the Willie Cuesta book series by Pulitzer Prize winning author John Lantigua about a Miami private detective. Rohm and Feifer will exec produce alongside Sam Sokolow (Nat Geo’s Genius), Carlos V. Gutierrez and Abdel Tornes.
At present, Rohm Feifer also has two projects in development at A+E Studios and A+E Factual Studios.
In a joint statement to Deadline, the company’s founders explained that it was “after years of starting projects independently but always ending up collaborating” that they decided to formalize their partnership. “We came to the realization that we’re stronger together,” added the duo. “We are aligned in our taste but most importantly we share a value system. We have each other’s backs….you know, the girl code. We are excited to create a brand that provokes conversation and promotes women.”
